DC School Report Card · 2024-25

The highest-scoring elementary school in Washington, DC.

Brent earned an accountability score of 89.4 on the District's 2024-25 school report card — higher than every other elementary school in DC, public or charter. Most of that score comes from growth: how far our students travel in a year, not just where they started.

Support Brent

Every gift, every size, makes a difference.

Brent PTA fundraisers provide an additional $850 of planned support per student beyond the school's public funding. The 2026–27 PTA budget helps make possible physical activity programs, classroom and curricular resources, field trips, professional development, and community events — the experiences and supports students encounter throughout the year. Every fundraiser helps turn that plan into reality.
